TASER Restores a Little Peace to a Troubled Home

Family is one of the cornerstones of our society, but it is no secret that family members tend to have disagreements. What is shocking is when the disagreements lead to violence. The police recently got a call about a violent encounter between a man and his father and had to use a TASER in order to end the squabble.

When the police arrived on the scene, there had apparently been some pretty wild fighting. The son had blood on his face and clothes and the argument hadn't died down much at all. The police tried to talk the family members through the situation but the son wasn't about to let his ire die so easily.

Even though the police were standing there, the son lunged at his father and started to punch him. The police stepped in and tackled him to the ground to put a stop the attack. The son put up such a struggle that the police had to use a TASER in order to get him to comply. Amazingly, before the police could put the cuffs on him, he managed to pull one of the darts out of his skin.

It is fascinating to me that a son could become so outraged that he would strike his father. I know it happens quite often, but still, there have to be better ways of resolving problems. Domestic problems happen way too often and the police often end up arresting someone. Maybe the high voltage shock and a little time in jail will do the son some good. Maybe he'll realize that violence isn't always the answer.
